"They pulled clothes from the wardrobes and drawers and dumped them in the green; they rifled through drawers and took iPhones, computer tablets, jewellery and anything else they could get their hands on."

Sure, most of us happen to have a bunch of iphones and tablets in our drawers.

I say it's a made up story, where are the pictures and videos? All the kid had to do is go outside and call the police.

So in the U.K. they have hundreds of yoofs storming other yoofs' houses and destroying them for fun. Here in the U.S. we have swat teams storming houses and laying waste to family pets. Interesting the differences the division by pond allows to form.

Is this just a U.K. thing? I don't recall reading/hearing any stories like this from other countries yet have heard many from them.

Maybe someone taped the hamster to the ceiling so he wouldn't meet the same end as the fish. I mean, think about it, no one at a party is looking up. If you're a small, easily smashed critter, in the middle of a house filled with violent douchebags, the ceiling is a pretty safe choice.

That actually makes a lot of sense. And there's the added benefit of getting trippy and going all Sistine Chapel with taped up hamsters.

Great plan until they start pooping on people dancing and a chav busts out his lighter.

Northern Ireland is. Didn't bother to notice the .ie at the end of the address. Should have done more research before posting. Oh well, it's Fark. I was bound to be hit by a grammar or geography Nazi eventually. It's o.k. though as I cringed when I hit "add comment", fully expecting it to happen. As you are the first to get me, and in honor of Ireland that is not part of the U.K., I shall favorite you in a nice Orange.

The question still stands, though I will now add Ireland and Scotland to the U.K. Civil disobedience and property destruction seem to be a recurring theme in the youth culture of those islands. From now on I'm going to refer to them as the Axis of Evil Party Crashers.

If it'd been me, I would have been snapping pictures and uploading them to FB as quickly as possible, trying to capture as many pics of the crashers as possible. I know they threatened him with a knife, but he or Grandpa could have been sneaky or said "Too late, douches". Then again, I am an internet tough-guy, so...

And this kind of thing HAS happened in the US... it's actually been the theme of at least one episode of every teen sitcom and a couple movies since the days that people would make fliers when they heard someone's parent's would be out of town. The only difference being in THOSE days you probably went to school with most of the worst offenders and were too busy covering your own ass to put the blame where it belongs....
